Adam was created on the 3rd day

Hi again G2V. I need to get off the computer for now and hope to get back on this tomorrow afternoon or so. You're reading stuff into your interpretation which is not there in context, imo. Chapter two is entirely compatable with chapter one. Chapter one itemizes the work of each day. Chapter two condenses some of the work of these days and hones in on the events relative to man. The purpose of chapter two is not to address the days perse. It's an interesting and thought provocative topic. Edited by Buzsaw, : Deleted error

BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW ---- Jesus said, "When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws near." Luke 21:28

'What's your evidence that Gen 2 is much earlier and how much earlier?

You didn't answer my question. What is your evidence that Genesis 2 is an earlier account than Genesis 1?

Hi Doctrbill. Nice to see you're still around; since Jan/2001. Perhaps the river irrigation was to come down the line after the sin/curse when Adam would have to till the land etc. Perhaps for certain crops more water than the mist afforded would be beneficial for a good yield.

The immeasurable present eternally extends the infinite past and infinitely consumes the eternal future.

One must read what led up to this ambiguous statement in order to explain it.ASV verse 4: In context, the statement in question aluded to the timeframe of just before day three when there was no sun and moon, etc and before the plants were made. Chapter one is the only consistently sequential record of creation.
